ror-Thirty-Four Now Known To He Dead.
 WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt., Feb. s. | To-day up to one o'clock one more body had been identified, namely, that of Louis B. l James of the New Haven Palladium. The total number of the train as shown by the evidence is eighty-four including employees. No more bodies have been recovered. The number stands yet at thirty-two and two deaths of Brakeman Bangs and Conductor Sturtevant, making thirty four known to be dead and twelve known to have gone home, which with thirty gix wounded leaves to-day only two known to be missing more than ac- counted for by the thirty-two charred bod ies. Up to noon there have been fifteen to- tai dead that are unidentified.
 Among those who are here to day in search of missing relations are Peter Wyytt of Hol- yoke, whose father-in-law, Peter McLane of Hackton, Que, is known to have been killed, and Joseph and Clovis Maigret of Holyoke, whose father, Joseph Maigret, was ill the rear passenger coach with Peter McLane and was with the latter burned to death in that car. Alexander Shepard, of Springfield is also here searching for his father -in-law, Charles Daleux of Rockville, Ct., who was en route to Sorel, Que, to attend the golden wedding of relative. He was in the car with Poly Ariel, one of the survivors, and was doubtless killed. Theophile Brodeur of Nashua, N. H., whose daughter Selma Bro- deur, was killed, has not been able to identi fy her body. She was in company with Jo- seph Beauregard, who escaped with slight injuries Among those reported to have been on the train and who are supposed to have been lost were two young men, Connel- ly and Spalding of Cavendish, Vt. who started from home in the afternoon to go to Mon treal. As they would naturally travel by the old northern route it is thought they took the ill-fated train. Thus far inquiries seem to have failed to show their presence at Montreal. young man named Brown, of Fitchburg, is likewise reported missing under similar circumstances. Inquiries have been received with reference to Carter Troop, James H. Dudy, P. Kane and George Nc Carty, party of young men hailing from St. John N. B., who were supposed to be on the train. Edward Blasdell and wife, of Fitchburg, were also inquired for, but there has been nothing to show that they met their fate in the wreck.
 The dispute as to the indentifcation of headless trunk between the friends of George Bell, of Bellows Falls, and Mrs. William Devno, of Winooski, was decided in favor of the former. Parts of the clothing were identified by each and of the five doctors who examined the remains two said they were those of man and three that they were those of woman. The weight of evidence was, however, the other way.
 In the railroad commissioners investiga- ton to-day Roadmaster Bean of the Central Vermont, Superintendent Mulligan of the Connecticut River, James P. Gordon, master mechanic of the Concord road, and number of other railroad experts testified, after care ful examination of the wreck and track, that the disaster was undoubtedly caused by the breaking of axle on the forward truck of the rear Pullman car. Ev eryone who heard their testimony were satis fled that this is the true explanation The hao.i a1i ro1 ,ti1
